Art of Hunting Oil Painting

The sport in hunt painting, especially fox hunting oil paintings is a tradition almost as
British as afternoon tea. Hunting scene paintings started out as a necessity: left
unchecked, the animals such as fox and wolf were a pest that would kill farmers’
ducks and sheep.
Eventually, however, England’s upper class turned it into a sport and enjoy the
English hunting scenes. While several
of the hunt painters were keen on this sport, many were simply hunter painting on oilpaintingfactory.com what they saw - the thought that they might be endorsing
or glamorizing fox-hunting wouldn't have crossed their minds.

Liverpool-born hunt painter George Stubbs
(1724-1806) is particularly renowned for his
hunting oil painting horse. During his lifetime,
Stubbs was looked down on by the art
establishment because he was classified as a
hunt sporting painter. Among his hunting paintings are Huntsmen Setting Out From South
ill,
Bedfordshire and A Foxhound, Ringwood.

Henry Alken (1785-1851) was another
leading British hunt painter who painted
hunting painting sale, among English hunting scenes. Alken was
himself a keen huntsman - in 1810 he and his
wife moved to Melton Mowbray and he
sometimes worked under the name Ben Tally
Ho. His hunter oil paintings included The Hunt
and The Death. One of his famous hunt
paintings, The Beloit Hunt: Jumping Into
And Out Of A Lane. will be familiar to many
English pub-goers as a reproduction seen hanging on
the wall.

While hunting paintings for sale never sought to hide
the reality of the kill, prominent
hunting dog oil paintings tend to be more serene,
portraying riders with the hounds, setting
off for a day's sport from picturesque
villages in hunter paintings, with smiling sightseers waving
them off; or hunts in full flight across the
fields; or triumphant riders returning home
- for example the famous hunter oil painting The Start Of The Hunt by
George Deville Rowlandson and Outside The
Three Crowns by Heywood Hardy.

Hunter oil paintings such as the series of four by John Nost Sartorius (1759-1828) of the
Earl of Darlington fox-hunting with the Raby Pack truly establish the
iconography of hunting that we know today. Sartorius's meticulous attention
to detail of English hunting scenes appealed to sport-loving patrons like the Earl of Darlington.

Surrey-born hunt painter John Frederick Herring Sr
(1795-1865) also painted a series of four
hunting oil paintings, showing the four stages of hound work:
The Suffolk Hunt - Going To Cover Near Harringswell; Going Away; Full Cry; and The
Death.
Other leading wildlife hunt artists at this time
included George Goodwin Kilburne (1839-1924)
and Edward Benjamin Herberte (1857-1893),
who lived in Warwickshire. Many of his
hunting paintings sale on oilpaintingfactory.com

a reputation not only for being a fine
painter of duck hunting painting, but also for his
landscapes.
